I mean think about it..........I'm at a point where I don't believe Holy Spirit had anything to do with getting jw's out in the ministry and yet for my 15 very active jw years, I never once encountered a violent or even really rude person at the door, not even a mad dog! I know some people have but it's certainly NOT the majority. So in a round-about way we can thank the jw's for there work for proving just the opposite of what they preach which is, "most people are lost, living debauched lives of violence and hate , etc......" instead most people are very good! I know that jw's will say that "holy spirit protected them in the ministry and that's why the worst of the worst didn't happen to them", but take holy spirit out of it and it paints a different picture. Any thoughts?............wf
Witnesses prove that most people on the planet are 'good'.......
